Help with variables

[Jeff Andresen]

How do I assign two variables to another variable.
example:
assign/V1 = array(blah, blah, blah)
assign/V2 = array(blah, blah, blah)
assign/V3 = max(V1)
assign/V4 = max(V2)
assign/V5 = max(V3 V4)

The last line doesn't work.

Thanks

assign/V5 = max(V3 V4)

Depending on what you what you must put an operator in there. There are a lot of math functions you can do. We need more info. Do you want the max either v3 or v4?

I don't know, I've never tried it.

Have you tried assigning v3 and v4 to another array (can you do that???) and then do the max of that? Or, I guess you could assign everthing from both arrays to a single seperate array?

Try This
ASSIGN/V1 = PNT1.X
ASSIGN/V2 = PNT2.X
ASSIGN/V3 = PNT3.X
ASSIGN/V4 = PNT4.X
ASSIGN/V5 = PNT5.X
ASSIGN/V6 = ARRAY(V1,V2,V3,V4,V5)
ASSIGN/V7 = ARRAY(V1,V2,V3,V4,V5)
ASSIGN/V8 = MAX(V6)
ASSIGN/V9 = MAX(V7)
ASSIGN/V10 = ARRAY(V8,V9)
ASSIGN/V11 = MAX(V10)

ASSIGN/V1 = PNT1.X
ASSIGN/V2 = PNT2.X
ASSIGN/V3 = PNT3.X
ASSIGN/V4 = PNT4.X
ASSIGN/V5 = PNT5.X
ASSIGN/V6 = ARRAY(V1,V2,V3,V4,V5)
ASSIGN/V7 = ARRAY(V1,V2,V3,V4,V5)
ASSIGN/V8 = MAX(V6)
ASSIGN/V9 = MAX(V7)
ASSIGN/V10 = ARRAY(V8,V9)
ASSIGN/V11 = MAX(V10)

Bob, is there a way to shorten this up. Say I had 50 points from a scan. Could it read:
ASSIGN/V6 = ARRAY(V1:V50)
ASSIGN/V8 = MAX(V6)

Just wondering
Thanks

Not that i'm aware of, but their are other folks here who probably know more about it then me. I dabble in variables

Thanks. I guess I should have read the original post better and I may have come up w/ a better answer. After I seen what you posted I thought boy what was I thinking. I guess it is going to be one of those days, but it is FRIDAY!

I don't know if this will work but you could give it a shot. You should test it out a few ways to make sure you are getting what you want

assign/V1 = array(blah, blah, blah)
assign/V2 = array(blah, blah, blah)
assign/V3 = array(V1, V2)
assign/V4 = max(V3)

It might end up being a 2 dimensional array and I am not sure how that evaluates.

That is what I was intending to suggest.

Also, couldn't you just do this?

assign/V1 = array(blah1, blah2, blah3)
assign/V2 = array(blah4, blah5, blah6)
assign/V3 = array(blah1, blah2, blah3, blah4, blah5, blah6)
assign/V4 = max(V3)

I've had times when i've had so many points i had to assign 2 arrays. Each line only takes so many.

Ah, I see now.

Jeff, how is it going? I do this all the time w/o incedent.

[Jeff Andresen]

Actually, I used the code suggested here and it worked fine...

assign/V1 = array(blah, blah, blah)
assign/V2 = array(blah, blah, blah)
assign/V3 = array(V1, V2)
assign/V4 = max(V3)
